At Rest.

On Thursday morning at about 1920
O'Clock, John Arthur Jones, after long
illness passed quietly from the taberna-
Gle of clay to the abode from whence no
traveller ever returns. Mr.. Jones came
to Newark several years ago, making his
home with widow lady, Mrs. Annie
Wells, and her family, who came from
the State of Maryland about the same
period. After little time Mr. Jones and
Mrs. Wells were married by Rev. Thos.
II. Haynes; their,pastor. The deceased's
health soon after failed and ere long all
those systems of that dread disease, con-
sumption, were observed by the many
friends of the invalid as having fixed
their fangs upon him. After months of
suffering and gradual weakening of phys
ical powers the sufferer grew rapidly
worse on Tuesday last. From that time
until his demise he lowered near the
bOrder-land of the ethereal world until
the spirit took its flight, remaining con-
scious all the while, and giving evidence
of his bright prospects so soon to be
realized. The remains will he consign-
ed to mother earth to await the trum-
pet sound NC
